RE: [DMCForum] 5096 Hot-Start

A quick step to reduce the possibilities would be to take it to an auto
parts store and have them test it since you already have it off the car.
Who was it that reported that piece breaking inside, Travis?

Last weekend, it became evident it had a starter problem as it started
to crank at two different speeds. Turn on the key, get one speed, turn
off and turn back on, get another. Both were too slow. Before that, it
was steady but I never had time to hear it when the car was cold to
realize it was too slow. Figured I'd ask about the starter as I wanted
to make sure something else was not going on.
